 Artline Galleries: Marsha Mateyka Artists: Barbara Allen: Reviews
Allen's practice of painting recognizes the interdependence of paint, surface, tools, and the artist's hand, and she is an equal collaborator with these elements rather than a master over them.
Allen's approach and, perhaps, some of her intentions run parallel-even converging at points-with some of the thinking behind Greenberg's concept of self-definition, the guiding principle of advanced painting in the 1950's and '60's, but ultimately they are distinct.
Barbara Allen's paintings are both intuitive and precise-- intuitive in her ability to let the process of painting influence the image; precise in her understanding of oil paint, mediums and applications.

 g r a p e z: Hardhearted Barbara Allen
Dave Marsh opens the book with an essay on that song, “Barbara Allen.” It’s filled with heart (and sometimes heartbreaking), both the song and the essay.
What’s amazing is our ability to ignore the lesson that “Barbara Allen” has to teach, which is the peril of denying the complicated mysteries that throb within our hardened hearts and the equal peril of horsing around instead of acknowledging our love for one another.
This is not a lesson you can squeeze onto a tombstone, or, for that matter, our current conception of a curriculum, but it is one to carry through this life.

Sung in hundreds of variants, the restraint of each stanza is a study in economy, with love's infectious malady setting a fateful trap from which neither William nor Barbara can escape.
The stanzaic repetition of Barbara Allen's name acts as what modern songwriters call a "hook," and the internal rhymes -- dwelling, swelling, knelling -- further attract the song into memory.
